Nikon AF Nikkor 50mm f/1.4D AF lens for nikon d3000?
Today I just received my Nikon D3000. I want a focusing lens because, although some objectives, but apparently are not compatible. That this lens work? It is a Nikon AF 50mm f/1.4D AF Nikkor lens … And any criticism or suggestion cheap ($ 100-400) which focuses lenses if you have would be a great help! Thanks!
Only AF-S autofocus cameras Nikon's entry-level as the D3000. I hope you have the 18-55 mm zoom or other budget zoom the camera so you have a general purpose lens. The 50 mm lens is a highly specialized DX lens on a camera. The D 50 mm f / 1.4 is an old design that requires a camera with a focus motor in the auto-focus camera, so no autofocus in the D3000. It will focus manually, and others that the lack of auto focus works perfectly with D3000. Depending on what you want to photograph, may not need autofocus. If you are shooting portraits that are, for example, the autofocus is convenient but not really necessary. The other thing to remember is that the rapid visual focus lenses, Nikon cameras have no advantage of the full lens aperture beyond about 2.8 f / 2.5 or less to buy custom search screen. You need to watch the selection indicator to know when you are in focus when shooting at a speed exceeding F.2.8. The AF-S 50 mm f / 1.4 G is the goal that you need if you really need a 50mm lens with auto focus D3000 – is a bit over $ 400. I have it, and as much. It has no autofocus faster than the 2.8 zoom lens, but it is very appropriate for what is normally used to, and focuses as fast or faster the less expensive zoom. Good luck with your new camera.
